Beta request?
Jan. 21st, 2009 01:12 amOne, anyone want to beta for me? I'm finally sucking up the old smutnazi pride and giving in to a beta...seeing as first person is easily the hardest tense for me to write, and combined with the Wodehouse style, it's damn near impossible to get a decently written fic out that doesn't have it's fair share of glaring errors. It's one thing when writing a third-person character sketch of sorts one-shot which is what 80% of my other fic is, it's another to branch out and suddenly find yourself in a fandom with actual mature people who aren't afraid to point out errors and don't just simply write "MOAR" without caring about the little things in life like grammar. (And as a stupid yank, who grew up with the "whole language" phenomenon who never was actually taught more than noun=object, verb=action and adjective=description, I'm rather pitiful at grammar. I've learned more grammar studying French than I ever did studying English.)
Please? Pretty please with sugar on top? If only for the once-over on grammar.
Also, anyone interested in a very dark, angsty, Hemingway-styled piece? (Dealing with how Bertie and Jeeves have changed since WWII, told from the POV of an original narrator.) it's a lot darker than most of what i've seen here, and since it breaks from the Wodehouse style so drastically, I figured i'd gauge interest before posting it up.
